Professor Jennett first defines the term `brain death' and the problems arising from a diagnosis of death, some the result of recent technological advances. The diagnosis is not necessarily connected with donor transplants, although in the popular mind this is still so. The criteria for establishing brain death and the sources of potential error in this diagnosis are outlined. The diagnosis of brain death can be made confidently, as is already common practice, and this should become standard good medical practice.
珍妮特教授首先定义了“脑死亡”一词以及因死亡诊断而产生的问题,其中一些是近期技术进步的结果。尽管在大众观念中仍然如此,但该诊断不一定与器官捐赠移植相关。文中概述了确立脑死亡的标准以及该诊断中潜在错误的来源。正如目前普遍做法那样,脑死亡诊断可以可靠地做出,并且这应该成为标准的良好医疗实践。
